is. we have slow traffic approaching that. the rest of the commute hasn't been as bad as i thought it would. especially for wet commute. and i believe that as we get closer to the easter holiday more schools and more people that are taking time off tomorrow for example some people will be off observing good friday and that will make it for an easier commute. let's take a look at the drive at the bay bridge toll plaza. we have a crash earlier on that upper deck. when that happens the metering lights are slowed down. it takes awhile for it to unwind. this is a 25-30 minute delay. also we are looking at westbound 24. that is worst than usual. it looks like westbound 24 near the lafayette area there is a lot of slow traffic and also in orinda this is because of earlier problems. a lot of people have gotten into fender benders and a lot of the commutes are pretty slow. let's go to steve. thank you. a very cloudy morning. a very loud morning. lots of pockets of drizzle and

rain dry in biz bane. so sorriers not getting any drizzle. it looks like it will taper off a little bit but still offshore when it's coming up the southwest. under a cloudy to mostly cloudy day. everything is wrapping around a low dropping in. and it's funneling moisture in from the southwest. i think the next three to four days we look for a lot of cloud cover and really mild to warm conditions. 57 oakland. very balmy. san jose is 57. santa rosa the only 40 on this panel. some of that heavier drizzle is a quarter inch. pretty good rain on highway 17. it looks like things are calming down a little bit. radar doesn't always pick up a lot of that. there has been rain on highway 4. but again not all of it being picked up. mostly 50s statewide or 60s. reno at 44. the moisture will continue to come up from the southwest so it will be very mild and warm.

and i think tomorrow we'll get into the mid 70s with a little bit of sun. each day the possibility of rain will increase. 60s for some or 70s for others. it wouldn't take much to get into low 70s for here. not much of a spread here coast, bay, and inland. it will be kind of muggy and humid here for the next few days. especially tomorrow. possibility of afternoon thundershowers late friday into saturday. saturday looks cloudy to mostly cloudy. >> thank you, steve. it is 7:37. transgenders in san francisco are becoming an increased target for crime. since january there have been four major incidents against transgenders including a date rape and assault in front of a bar. san francisco ss are looking -- san francisco supervisors are look into safety strategies to keep people safe. in round two of the same sex marriage cases before the supreme court, several justices

expressed reservations about the federal defense of marriage act. political reporter jamie dupree joins us via skype. good morning, jamie. >> reporter: one of the things we always say is never try to predict the u.s. supreme court. i think a lot of people are scratching their heads on what will happen on prop 8. as to what was going on i was listening in on a forum. one legal expert says he can't figure it out. he has no idea what the court will do. i think there might be more clear skies about the defense of marriage act. it did seem there were five votes. the four liberal justices along with justice anthony kennedy who might be ready to overturn doma the defense of marriage act and therefore allow gay couples who are legally married to be treated in the same way in terms of federal tax laws and also federal benefits. but of course no predictions

here and we'll have to wait to see what the high court actually does maybe by the end of june. >> what was your take on proposition 8? the day before? is that even more uncertain? >> reporter: i think that is completely uncertain right now. look, there is uncertainty about the defense of marriage act. but that seemed a bit more clear. but from the legal experts and their take on things nobody is quite sure where things are going. we learned a very good lesson a year ago with the arguments on obama health law. it was a distinct possibility that could be overturned by the high court and then it did not happen. i'm always wary on making predictions on this. it seemed like the justices were really struggling on tuesday to figure out a way forward. when you have justiceson somewhere showtime -- sonya sotomayor ruling on this. it seemed like a trial balloon from a liberal side of the

court. nobody seemed to have five courts. now that they move into a different phase of trying to work out some kind of agreement that is when things could change. and all we can do is wait to see what the court does. >> can you pull the curtain back and tell us what happens between now and june? >> reporter: i think their next conference i believe it's tomorrow. their next conference they will take votes sort of tentative votes to decide where the cases go. now it could well be that nobody's got the votes to do anything and they basically behind the scenes try to offer up different ideas as to how to construct an opinion. how to get five votes. one thing we could have is have four votes for something. one justice who doesn't agree with those four but sort of agrees with the thrust of it and you wouldn't have a controlling opinion. a lot of different possibilities here and all we can do is sit outside the court and wait to see what they do. >> is there any chance we would

hear a decision before june or is it certain it would be june we'll hear the earliest. >> reporter: the only way we would hear something before june is if the court throws up its hands and decides not to rule. especially on the prop 8 measure. the defense of marriage act that would be held to the end. usually what the justices do they wait until that last week of june when they wrap up all their business and they save the biggest cases for last. i don't know if the gay marijuana case will be held for the last. i don't think they would get any ruling out of the court. until that last week in june. >> we'll probably just have to look forward to that. certainly we will remember a year ago in june waiting for the health care decision certainly high drama there. >> reporter: i expect to be back there this june. >> we'll look forward to you. thank you jamie. and you can find a look to jamie's washington insider blog
